Plastic corner basins?
One occasionally sees pressed plastic washbasins - usually in rented
accomodation done up to no-compromise pound-shop standards. Tacky as they are a small plastic corner basin would be ideal in my caravan WC. Of course when I come to look for them I can't find them anywhere (and don't say caravan shops: everything in those seems to be in a time-warp from the worst of the 70s/80s). Anyone seen any/know of suppliers etc? -- John Stumbles I'm more non-competitive than you |

CLEO FOLDAWAY BASIN The Cleo Foldaway Basin is a space saving unit, designed as an easy fit toilet or bathroom accessory and features a no fuss lift out basin for easy cleaning. The unit has its own integral catchment tank and there is ample space available to fit most popular caravan mixer taps. The unit measures a mere 130mm in the closed position, and is fixed to the caravan wall by six simple screw fixings. The other important dimensions are 660mm high x 520mm wide x 430mm (basin in the drop down position). www.cirencesterplastics.co.uk/mouldmaking.htm Or White Corner Basin Dimensions: * 285 x 285 x 100mm Deep * Takes a 3/4" waste pipe (not included) Price £19.99 www.marinescene.co.uk/manufacturer/81/unipart -- Rod Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious onset.

Anyone seen any/know of suppliers etc? No, but when I needed something similar I ended up using a pound shop stainless steel bowl and cut a hole in the base for a drain. Wash hand basin for a boat, much nicer than the cheap plastic crap. |

And for a corner basin, you can just cut it into four, and offer the other three "basins" to your caravanning friends. ;-) (yes, I know there is a fatal flaw to this idea) |

I used marine ply to make a corner unit and mounted the basin in that. (yes, I know there is a fatal flaw to this idea) Oh indeed, it implies that a caravanner could have three friends, which is obviously ludicrous. |

But caravanners' friends are always caravanners. |

I have the s/s dog's drinking bowl just for this application, but realised that a waste would end up proud to the surface so it would never properly drain (unless I glued it to the underside). And anyway a corner basin is what the space requires. -- John Stumbles Women always generalise |
